Trailers again

[Bill Glaze]

Ken:
Sounds interesting.  Gary Harris and I are both looking for an airplane 
trailer that can be hauled by a motorcycle.  The one described below 
sounds a llittle large (and heavy).   There used to be one made that was 
lightweight, would handle a patten airplane, and opened up like the 
doors on a butterfly Mercedes.  Anybody know anything about it?
